When I was a kid in the 1950's, my dad ran a wind tunnel on top of Mt. Washington in the winter for the Air Force to investigate icing on plane wings. He'd go up there for months at a time. I always wondered what it was like. And now I know! Thanks!
Such an awesome vid. Totally adding something like this to my bucket list after seeing this. Beautiful!!!!! What crazy wind up there.
Our family goes up there every year during the foliage season. It is BEAUTIFUL when the leaves are in full color.:)
Mount Washington. The great widowmaker of the north. Sweet time to be up there man! Scary beautiful
That really cool. Enjoyed this very much. Very well done.
Cheers for getting back yo me on that one Mike. Bloody interesting videos you have on your site. I have to say that i am a bit envious of the stuff you've done. Cheers again.. :)
Well done! The footage is amazing, really captured the essence of the conditions on the mountain. 😃👍🥶
The view is amazing....
that snow crunch is so satifying to hear...
got the funniest job ever love documebting weather.... Chasing storms is great and all but doing it for a career i would love IT!!!!!!!!
That is insane🥶😱🥶
Canadians be like: good weather today eh nice an sunny barley any wind
Barley is especially nice when mixed with his and fermented!
LOVE them!
been to the summit twice, gonna go for 3rd time next year hopefully
What a storm! Amazing chapes in the snow :D
Never want to be there outside...Really crazy people :0
I really enjoyed this video because of its extreme weather conditions.
But I got one question: what camera is able to film such a strong storm outside without getting damaged? :O
I've been up there many times, the wind and weather is just as you've seen. Sometimes even worse. In January the wind chill can get to -80F up there, wind gusts well over 100mph, and death by exposure can happen if you aren't careful, and prepared for it. In mountaineering circles, the "Presidential Traverse", or traverse of all of the Presidential mountain peaks, in winter, is considered 'perfect training' for places like the Himalaya. K2 and Everest hopefuls often do multiple passes on the Presi-Traverse before even flying to the Himalaya.
If you like this sort of challenge as I do, it's definitely a fun time in the White Mountains of NH up on the range in the winter :-)
In edmonton Canada we can die of exposure too the wind isn't super crazy but the cold is crazy,I think its actually the coldest major city in north America
Last month the wind chill was -108°F.
my uncle picked up a used winter L.L. Bean coat at the thrift shop for 10 bucks . good shape , still wears it in the winter . very technical coat , very lightweight . synthetic fill . down fill is useless when it gets wet , if its humid or when you perspire when your working or hiking .
Awesome
I've been going there in the summer for the last few years an would love to see it in full blown winter.
Yeah I think I'll pass on a trip there in winter. I'll likely die up there then my corpse will be known as "Blackboots".
Unintentional ASMR
How did you manage to keep the camera operating at such a severe temperature?.
awesome this is we call truly natural mountain even this video was old date back 2012 but if we talking above natural that is definitely never change for sure this is awesome frozen ice
Wow that's a lot of snow where I am there's a few cm maybe 40 m
At 2:06.Is the light below Orion the sunrise,aurora,or light pollution from North Conway? Yeah ,neat video.I went there in early Oct 1992 not as icy that day.I remember watching a PBS kids science show called Voyage of the Mimi where Ben Afflec visited Mt Wash. in Nov 1983.I saw it back in 1986.Asked one of the staff if he remembered him visiting then and he said he did.Wonder if Ben took JLo up there on a return visit.I would love to go back there one day. Even during the winter .
holy shit that is awesome!
Great video!!
Great video. Great time to be up there without what the full time workers up there used to call "goofers"./Summer tourists.
Awesome work well done lads :)
Wow that is some crazy wind, They say the jetstream is high up and the higer you are the stronger the winds i think it's true in this case
Well camera lenses can sometimes pick up things more easy than the human eye, I have no clue whether or not this is the case here, but keep that into consideration when watching this video.
when the wind pix up and they start struggling to stand stil and start falling over it kinda looks like theyre trying to break dance...sort of :D
I had - 45 this winter with strong winds enough to not let me ride down black colored skiing paths or whatever its called. And I wheigh 100 kg.
Its like this northern sweden close to norway.
Its just like in my homeland.Finland.
Sweden is nothing compared to this, not even close
Standard in Sweden? I'm pretty sure i haven't experienced anything like this. The worst i've experienced is 23-25 minus with calm winds. :S
Good kite flying weather.
What would one have to do to be able to spend a night up there in the winter? I would gladly do volunteer work just for the awesome experience.
+motoprepper, there are winter trips to the Mount Washington Observatory at the summit. The observatory itself runs snowcat trips, and various mountain climbing schools offer climbs that include overnight stays. It is also possible to spend a week as a volunteer cook / cleaner.

haha!
I don't know how he could take it with his face exposed in that time the wind was "just" blowing 30 to 40 mph, especially at -18 degrees.
how does it looks like inside?
At least the first half
I didn't see you up there when it blew 231 mph! want to try a real Mountain try Everst! Many europeans have summited it.
Lot of definitions of whiteout.
Do you mean -18degrees F or -18degrees Celcius ?!? Cause both are plausible.
Probably -18F as it's in the US. That is very mild as with the wind chill it can get to -70 to -80F quite often in January.
Fahrenheit.
I was told that a human can barely stand in 50mph winds...
that's a lie lol ive been in 60-80mph gusts before maybe even more im real sceptical about the wind and its one of my greatest fears and one time I was walking to college and it litrely stopped me from walking and I didn't think it would be possible
rocky toombstone
I wondered as much as that seems a little low to me. I know as a kid I had trouble standing when wearing a full snowsuit in IL in the winter, but I have no idea how fast the wind was going, but with a steady 30mph wind most days and no trouble, 50 seemed too low.
50-60mph is what it takes to be able to lean into the wind and have it fully support you. Most humans, myself included, tend to overestimate wind speeds. Its a really hard thing to gauge without instruments. But this being Mt. Washington, that guy was def. getting blasted by upwards of 70 and 80mph at the end there.
I’ve been in sustained 40 kt (46 mph) and was able to stand just fine.
that is very standard in Sweden were i live... nothing new sorry!lol
I THINK 121 PEOPLE HAVE DIED ON THE SMALL MT.GOOD FOR THIRD PLACE IN THE WORLD
summer in russia.
This mountain is nothing.
Indeed it really is a pittance compared to the Rockies, Alps, Andes Himalaya etc. Yet this little rockpile has claimed the lives of over 100 people, many of them experienced alpine climbers because the weather is so deceptively severe.
bjkarana excuse me but when the Weather Channel references the worst weather and highest winds its Mt Washington they refer to. Hope you stay on the Rockies or the alps you pittance!
James Duan and you know this because?........
Humans are nothing.
Worlds highest wind speed was measured on top of mt Washington FYI
